We’re always excited about finding new places to shop for luxe activewear here at Sporteluxe, so news of a new online boutique offering hard-to-find prestige brand fitness gear was music to our ears.

Runway Warrior, founded by Melbourne-based mother and daughter team Brooke and Nell Donato, offers clothing and accessories at the high end of the leisurewear spectrum from both local Aussie and international labels.

Along with home-grown favourites such as We Are Handsome, Duskii, Valley Eyewear and L’urv, you’ll also find American brands including Out Incorporated and Michi NY there too, with Koral Activewear and Stella McCartney for Adidas slated for the near future too. Likewise, exclusive capsule collections, along with other niche and up-and-coming labels are on the site’s horizon.

As a point of difference to other shopping sites, Runway Warrior is the only Australia-based site you’ll find French label Au Courant Paris’s activewear, along with and Italian label GCDS.

“The Runway Warrior woman want to be noticed… wear the best brands before the public and loves to invest in brands that not everyone has heard of,” they’ve said in an official release, which was enough to catch the attention of us all in the Sporteluxe office (hey, you had us at the word ‘exclusive’), along with the attention-grabbing campaign imagery (shown here) starring Aussie supermodel Elyse Knowles and Monika Clarke. Happy browsing!
